Socks, Jumpers and Jewels

Hello all,


So the long weekend for me consisted of family, fires, blankets, walks, gifts & the Lord of the Rings. Sounds like a perfect weekend to me! As I mentioned in my latest Outfit Post myself, my three sisters, my brother & his girlfriend went to see the Lord of the Rings accompanied by the RTÉ Orchestra in the O2. It was amazing, and now I feel extremely untalented. Oh well! To cheer me up however I just had a look over some of things that came into my possession that weekend and I didn't feel so bad! I was kindly given a few little presents from my family as a thank you for having them stay in my college house. These presents were very sound of them since said house was often smelly and always freezing. I hope you like some of the bits :)

Baby Blue Baby Soft Jumper 

I bought this on E-bay yonks ago and it arrived this week thank goodness. It cost just over €10 (including postage) so I was pretty happy with my E-baying skills. This jumper is so soft and cosy and I actually wore it Sunday night to the LOTR. An Outfit Post will be up during the week :)


Baby Blue Jewelled Necklace 

Kind of going with this baby blue trend I bought this necklace for €12 from Dunnes Stores. I am so impressed with Dunnes these days , even though the prices have gone up it's well worth it for what you get. I think this necklace looks so much more expensive than what it was!




Sparkly Hat 

Hat? Sparkles? Sparkly Hat? I need it! This hat was kindly bought my by sister Bernie , thank you! It's from Tesco and again I am very impressed with the range available. It ain't just for your Tayto and pizzas no more!




Baby Pink Baby Soft Jumper 

I was just a little bit too excited about this. I featured a very similar jumper in my Wishlist post a few days ago and my extremely sound sister Emma bought this for me on behalf of the family. I cannot wait to wear it! This one is from Bershka


Slipper Boots 

Another part of the present were these slipper boots. They are fleece lined need I say more? I love them and I am currently wearing them as I write this! They are from Penneys/Primark 


Dark & Vampy Nail Polish 


I successfully went to Liffey Valley Shopping Centre and back without buying anything but then I went to Tesco of all places and ended up buying this nail polish and a Sally Hansen top coat (that's lurking in my sister's bag at the moment). I love the colour of this nail polish as it's dark but not quite black. It was €4.99


My sister Sinéad also bought me a cool notebook which I am now using as place to keep all my ideas for this blog. Thanks to all the Fergusons for their presents !

That's all for now,
Thank you for reading

Cowboys, Tights & Suits

Hello all,


This is an outfit I wore into college last week. I love this cardigan it's like wearing a fluffy blanket (this makes me very happy since I'm always frozen). I bought it in New Look when I was in London a few weeks back  but then I came home to find Penney's had released a cheaper version ...don't you just hate when that happens? Not to worry though cause I've convinced myself this one is softer :)
I hope you like it,

Cardigan - New Look, €20 (ish)


 My nicknamed 'Cowboy Boots' Bought in Republic - €45 ( worth every penny)
Oh and Penneys have also come out with a version of these too if anybody is interested! Yeehaw!!

Burgundy, Black & Red

Hello all,


You know when you see something in Penneys you love but then you look at the price tag and think 'Ah that's too expensive for Penney's..sure maybe it'll go on sale & I'll get it then' ? Well that my friends is exactly what happened to me with this dress. The Sale Gods must of been with me that day when I wandered in and found it reduced from €17 to €7 , and there was only one left in my size..it was just meant to be :) I wore this outfit out last Saturday night, I hope you like it.

 Dress - €7, Penneys  Love the shape, colour & pattern of this dress.



 Necklace - €6, Penneys



Bag- €11, Penneys ( bit of a trend going on here..)


Heart studded -belt - €2, yep you guessed it Penneys! This isn't actually a waist belt but I just popped a hole in it with my scissors so I could wear it as one


Heels - €36ish with student discount, Missguided available here

Crimson, Pleats & Boots

Hello all,



It's slightly worrying how overjoyed with happiness I am now that it's Autumn, but the Autumn colours just seem to suit us gingers ( at long last we have a bit of luck). This outfit features my favourite infinity/snood scarf that I bought last year. I'm warning you now that it will feature in a lot of looks for the upcoming months ( sorry) but sure anyway let's get going...



 Grey Jumper - Penneys/ Primark , I bought this last year, I think it was around €7-9


A Christmas present from my brother Mark :) Penneys - €20(ish)


Scarf- New look, €12




Skirt- H&M, €14.99 also featured in an outfit post here


Ring -borrowed from my sister

Blazer, Red & Cons

Hello all,


Since I'm back in the great world of college I thought it would be a good idea to do a 'college' inspired outfit.  After all Crimson Threads is devoted to keeping it all affordable & a student outfit fits into this perfectly :) This is a typical outfit I would wear throughout the week complete with my trusty school  college-bag! Hope you like it x

 Bag- TK MAXX, €20 


 Blazer- €18, Forever 21




Spike Necklace- €5 Penneys



Leather look pants- €29.99, New Look ( I love how these are actually pants & not just leggings so I don't feel as 'bare'..I've a thing with leggings don't heed me)
